SPOILER ALERT.... DUH...

If you don't know tonight was the last sopranos, then what the fuck do you care if it was spoiled? eh?
I just didn't want erin to see this...
anyhow. sort of a non-ending.
You really have to appreciate the genius of David chase.
How do you satisfy the raging curiosity of the entire civilized world?
Give them multiple possibilities, lots of fast cuts and NO CONCLUSION.
Chase did about as good as any human is cognitively capable given the circumstances.
Ah well,... at least i Still have Curb your enthusiasm, The Wire and The shield to look forward to.
If the Antichrist shows up, he'll have to get in line behind those shows and my bills before I realize he's arrived.

Replace this whore with yourself as a viewing nation and you'll begin to get some idea of who got fucked tonight.
Seriously tho, I love the show and this was a genius conclusion if not the one everyone wanted to see.

CYMOTHOA EXIGUA


This thing is officially my new hero.
Just think of it, a naturally occuring, appendage replacement organism.
Now I just need some tentacle replacements for my arms.


Tongue-eating isopod, Cymothoa exigua

This isopod causes degeneration of the tongue of its host fish the rose snapper, Lutjanus guttatus, and it then attaches to the remaining tongue stub and floor of the fish's mouth by hook-like pereopods. In this position the isopod superficially resembles its host's missing tongue. Brusca & Gilligan (1983) hypothesize that these isopods serve as a mechanical replacement for the fish's tongue and represent the first known case in animals of functional replacement of a host structure by a parasite. This relationship is so-far known only from the Gulf of California.

CHILDREN OF DAGON...

Went to the coast this week. Probably the best time I've had in a decade.
The weather was supposed to be shitty, but Erin and I just wanted to go for the sake of going. It turned out gorgeous. Not idyllic sunny weather the whole time, but really high contrast, violently beautiful clouds and color combos.
It was like being on the gleaming edge of the birth of creation. Very primordial and organic.

We took 1042 photos total before the batteries ran out.
First we stayed in Seaside and took a shitload, then the next day we found a fucking amazing spot called Ecola Point. The name caught our attention because it sounds like a cross between Ebola and E-coli.

Made some quick found object art with dead sandbugs and crab carcasses.
There was also a rad slime waterfall with the most incredible bright green and dark olive slime dripping and pouring down the trail to the point.
The second half of the trail we had to rapel down.
All in all two of the best days of my life.
Here are some pics I just edited and sized.
